QCN In the News:

If you have a computer and an Internet connection, you can volunteer to be part of a new network that is going to be the world's largest high-density array of seismic sensors devoted to the study of earthquakes.

Seismologist Elizabeth Cochran of the University of California, Riverside explains the Quake-Catcher Network (QCN), which she helped develop. QCN records earthquakes by relying on accelerometers already embedded in most laptops.
